I would like to reflect on a year of great change which has included some significant milestones as well as a number of ongoing challenges which we will continue to tackle in the next 12 months. Thank you to our staff Firstly, on behalf of the Trust Board, I would like to thank all our staff for everything that they have done to provide safe, high quality care for patients – not least during our response to the COVID-19 pandemic which dominated the end of 2019-20 and the start of 2020-21. The common purpose, focus and determination of all staff in this unprecedented time has been a source of deep pride in what we have done as one team at OUH, but there have also been moments of great sadness. We have lost a number of staff to COVID-19 and I want to pay tribute to them. Our thoughts are with their family, friends and close work colleagues who are deeply affected by their loss. We are a team and every single member of our team is precious. None of us can deliver our service to patients alone and so we stand together in honouring the memories of our colleagues and sharing the sadness of their families and everyone else who loved them. Operational and financial performance In June 2018, we agreed enforcement undertakings with NHS Improvement (NHSI) which committed the Trust Board to clear plans leading to improvements in performance on key priorities. Thanks to the efforts of all staff and a clear focus on these priorities, NHSI formally lifted most of these enforcement undertakings in January 2020 and issued a compliance certificate which recognised the ‘significant progress’ made in respect of governance, planned care, emergency care, and workforce planning, along with the development of an Integrated Improvement Programme to ensure delivery of plans. Concerns remained in relation to finance. In addition, in November 2019 the Care Quality Commission (CQC) lifted conditions placed on the operating theatres in the main John Radcliffe Hospital building following the completion of refresh works. The theatres were officially re-opened in September 2019 at the end of the refresh project, which started in April, and the CQC visited in November. The refresh project was a challenging logistical exercise but our staff rose to the challenge to ensure that the environment they work in matches their clinical excellence and professionalism, helping to deliver the standard of care that the Trust aspires to. Our reduced operating theatre capacity during this time – and national guidance to postpone elective surgery from March 2020 to prepare for COVID-19 – contributed to an 7 increase in the number of elective patients on waiting lists for 52 weeks from eight patients on 31 March 2019 to 25 patients on 31 March 2020. We experienced a 2.7% increase in the number of patients using our Emergency Departments at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford and the Horton General Hospital in Banbury in 2019-20 – 83% of patients were seen, treated and either discharged or admitted to hospital within four hours. As a result of the reduced elective activity and the increased emergencies which are reimbursed at a lower rate, our end of year financial position was disappointing. We reported a deficit of £12.8 million. The Trust Board recognises the need to ensure a robust and sustainable approach to financial recovery plans and is working closely with NHS England and NHS Improvement (NHSE&I) on a Financial Governance Review. Significant developments 2019-20 was a year of exciting developments across the Trust. An expansion of Sobell House Hospice on the Churchill Hospital site was completed so that more families can benefit from this valuable expertise in palliative and end of life care The major project to modernise and expand the Emergency Department on the John Radcliffe Hospital site is nearing completion Construction of the new Ronald McDonald House Oxford (free accommodation for families of children in hospital) was completed and we look forward to it opening when COVID-19 restrictions are lifted We celebrated the 10th anniversaries of both the Oncology and Haematology Centre on the Churchill Hospital site and the Heart Centre on the John Radcliffe Hospital site A new chemotherapy service for children is now available at the Horton General Hospital in Banbury so that patients in the north of the county can receive treatment closer to home Looking ahead It promises to be another busy and eventful year as we begin to implement our new Trust Strategy for 2020-25. I look forward to working with our staff, patients, Foundation Trust members and governors, health and care system partners, GPs, Healthwatch Oxfordshire, MPs and local authority colleagues, and many others over the next 12 months.

As with last year’s annual report, I would like to start by acknowledging the keyworkers in health and social care who worked with enormous energy and stamina to serve our population throughout the year under the most demanding of circumstances. The challenges presented by COVID-19 have been the greatest since the inception of the National Health Service. The way that those challenges have been met is a tribute to thousands of individuals in Buckinghamshire who have worked or volunteered as part of hundreds of organisations, big and small throughout the county. Health and social care services have adapted in a remarkable manner, innovating in ways that may have taken years months or years in normal times.

  • The Growth of Our Health Services
    Hook Norton Local History Group The Growth of our Health Services Reading accounts of the work of poor-law officers, workhouses, smallpox houses, and asylums before 1900, one sees the systems that were used to deal with the destitute, dangerous or dependent. They evolved into today’s health and social services. But someone accustomed to a familiar GP, a telephone advice centre, and a nearby accident and emergency department is left wondering what one did if one had an accident, high fever, persistent vomiting or innumerable other unpleasant and painful symptoms. What if one’s child had a seizure? Pre-1900 From ancient times most communities had individuals skilful at helping and healing, though without formal training. Many of them were more effective and safer than those with formal medical and surgical training. In the Middle Ages apothecaries were skilled dispensers of potions and familiar with some of the drugs in use today. By the eighteenth century the surgeon-apothecary, present in most towns, was the predecessor of today’s GP. Though their anatomical knowledge could be sound, their handicap was that they worked at a time of limited functional physiological knowledge. Diagnosis – deciding on the cause of the problem – often was impossible. That made rational treatment problematic. There were traditional home cures, some persisting to modern times: camphorated oil and goose grease for a severe cough, bread poultice for septic sores, iodine on cuts, dock leaves for stings, salt water for accidental poisoning. There were within the locality specialists with expertise in specific subjects, like midwifery, injuries, or fevers.
